Maybe I'M A Cornball Comments

Mary My friends call me a crank, because I still act like a child, maybe this is why I love your work, so lets be cornballs together. cheers Sylvie

Great poem! I get the same comments from my friends. I will not allow that to change who I am though. I'll just continue to be ME because that's what I do best. Thanks for sharing. Shelia*

Mary, I think you and your thoughts are very lovely!

Yeah, that was really what I meant....I've never seen the word 'mawkish' but I see it relates to being excessively sentimental. (As for the 'unsophisticated' part....well...) Yup, that's exactly what I meant. I wrote the word 'cornball' because that IS what they call me. My friends as well as family feel the need to call me a cornball almost daily. I am too often caught up in what 'the other guy' is probably feeling and I bring it home to my family.........they consider that 'cornball'. Thanks for commenting! Sincerely, Mary

I like the sentiment you express of speaking your mind, but that's not what 'cornball' means. It means mawkish and unsophisticated. I don't think that's what you meant to say about yourself, is it?

Excellent Mary. This ought to be recited on a stage by a nine year old girl. The rhythm would be perfect. H

cute poem, mary. i liked it.

Well...you're the one who turned me on to rhyme, Mary! Between you and Herbert...I've learned just what type of skill is actually involved in the construction of a tight rhyme....you're a natural...oh yes, and a cornball! ; -)

GREAT POEM, hits the target.....................

If you're a cornball what does that make me? Amicalement votre Ronberge
